Yeah, pretty sure Bamco is trolling us at this point.
I accidentally opened the mail myself, ughhhh
Mmm, yeah I was deciding whether to farm for whitebeard or gp usopp books, but I think I'll go with usopp since he sees way more use from me.

Part of me wants to see Namco increase the mailbox size to 400 and not increase the inventory space just so I can see the OPTC community collectively lose its shit.
You're evil! But for some reason I want to see this. xD

Does the Japanese version have more slots? Or we're just speculating Bamco should be adding space at this point...cause we really do need those spaces lol
Japan has 700 slots ._.

For skillups, should I be feeding books one at a time or 5 at once?
Thanks GAF!

5 at a time, unless you're feeling lucky (you're not).
Ugh. I am not enjoying the Kraken fortnight so far. Tried Expert with Killer, thinking, hey, I should do plenty of damage, with HP to spare!
Run #1, bad orbs, Kraken had 20% health left when I died.
Run #2, brought Lulu, forgot to pop Kaku after converting TND/RCV, Kraken had NO life when I died. It's like that bastard somehow got a Laboon assist, holding on to that last hit point just to spite me.
Run #3, didn't even make it to Kraken. Took some hits due to crappy auto-targeting in early battles, and had 5500 HP when the Master of the Near Sea one-shotted me with a preemptive attack. Came this close to throwing a fussy baby temper tantrum, then remembered adults don't do that, especially over a video game.
Goodbye, 90 stamina. Now I have to learn how to clear each stupid battle perfectly, starting with an evolver that attacks next round, then manually switching to the biggest damage threat. Even then, it's really sketchy. Stupid treasure turtles hitting for over 1000 damage, so damned ridiculous.
It's probably safer with a Jozu friend, but damn it, I was really looking forward to finding a reliable method to do burst damage this time around.

It's definitely killed a lot of my interest for the game. I still play daily, but I'm not too terribly worried about "wasting" stamina. What's the point of running something when you can't even keep the drops?
It's beyond the point of frustration now.

Alright, just finished all difficulties of the Kraken island. Double Jozus seem pretty reliable. I'm having a hard time getting perfects with him though because his slow attack speed keeps throwing me off.
Anyway, Kraken doesn't hit very hard, and his orb conversion to STR and DEX on his 2nd turn lets you really do some damage with Capone+Kaku+Hina.

One of the suspected reasons is to limit our ability to plan for the future, since the Japanese release is so far ahead of us. What Namco Bandai fails to realize is that, if they keep this up, it's going to cause people to stop playing the game anyway, which means less profit for them.
We should have received two [or even three] box increases by now. The fact that we're still on our first [that we've had since launch] is ridiculous.
Hey guys, stopped posting here a while ago since OPTC have stopped being my top priority in life, hope everyone is doing well and wish you guys the greatest luck on the upcoming sugo.
Really sad that there is still no increased box space..
And the new kraken isle is a joke, started of with exper with this team:
Jozu (60+)
Jozu (87 Mine)
Lucci (60+)
Kaku (60+)
Hina (50+)
Umbrella Girl (40+)
Gives me 50k+ HP and I am just tanking everything..
If everyone needs my Jozu feel free to add me.

I dunno man, I cleared it on the first try and my quick team is not very high level. Dual killer, lucci, Ms. Valentine, Lulu, and Kaku. Use valentine Lulu Kaku specials on 2nd turn of the boss orb shuffle, and you will get blue orbs for the team + buff. No need to play perfectly,just smart.

just finished all the kraken stages.. went with the usual tactic..
Double jozu
johnny
miss valentine
kaku
hina
just waited till turn 3 or 4 while doing damage, activate Johnny, then miss valentine, than kaku and lastly hina.. the kraken will go down

Yeah, I like the pigs because I hate using stamina to clog up my inventory because I don't have the correct turtles.
When playing the JP version, I start get this feeling that Bamco's mission for JP and global is different. In JP, they seem to want to retain players and attract new ones with lots of freebies each month, treating the game as a facet of the One Piece merchandizing juggernaut. In Global, they are seemingly trying to maximize the game's profitability over other similar cellular games, manipulating game variables using the JP version as a template.
I see it as the same old story that was told back in the day of the earliest console RPGs. Japanese developers and publishers spend too much time trying to figure out how to retool their product to fit a Western audience, when there's really no need. Slap a decent translation on there, stop worrying about what non-Japanese will or won't enjoy, and most of all, don't treat us like a second-class source of funding for your flagship product.
In other words, they need to just give out the damned box upgrades, rather than flirting with player retention.
No Valentine. She was one of my first Rare Recruits, actually. I was new to the game, and thought anyone who didn't have both a Special and a Captain Ability was total crap. So... I sold her.

Yeah, I have 30 Marco books just chilling in my box. Next week tho, they'll be GONE!
Evolved Ace makes quick work of the Kraken at all difficulties. Killer as a team lead dampens fodder damage too much.

She is farmable, but I doubt you would want to waste time farming her.

Kraken 30 Stam should be possible with :
Jozu lvl 68/ Jozu lvl 40
Ace 5star lvl 59/ Lucci evolved lvl 45
Kaku lvl 46 / Killer evolved lvl 50
right?
Yes, for sure.
And those better be some strong level 20's StMeph!
Lol I dunno about that. If you get the random squid boss (which is Dex), it can mess up your low level blue team.
I might on 1/2 stamina day, since I'm going to have to switch to a Lucci lead to reliably farm Kraken.
It sucks to realize that all it takes to drop a Killer team are a bunch of battles with 6 enemies in them, because you'll usually only knock out three of them. The low RCV makes poison a serious risk, too.

Are any of those fish worth it? I kept the Kraken since he's the headliner, but don't want to waste space on the rest.

Having pretty solid luck tonight. Used up my stamina finishing the Alubarna levels, got a stamina refill from my last snail, then managed to get a level-up with that to fill up again. During all that, I got Mr. 1 to drop, and grabbed the Kraken as well. Still got the full bar from the level up to spend on Croc farming, but my phone needs to charge for now.
I really like how they handled the last scene in the story mode, the
Almost makes up for the fact that they really undersold the Gum-Gum Storm scene.

voices really made it.
Hadn't played in two weeks due to a hectic work schedule + strongly disliking the Franky isle more than any other since I started playing.
Back on board and managed to clear Alubarna, and cleared the Kraken easily with Jozu Jozu.
I'm also absolutely SWIMMING in gems, since I got 10 for my 100-day login, and 10 for clearing the story isle. Plus the extras we've been getting. I spent every single gem I had in the last sugofest, and I've already stockpiled back up to 65. Feels good.
It's a weird feeling - I was absolutely hardcore about TC for 80 days - never missed a day, and basically spent every single stam point I ever earned, beginning at about 50 stam. But then I just... completely stopped. Not sure I'll ever be back that heavy again, but I'm at least glad I'm pushing through new content again.

Good luck on Sugofest.
Haha, congrats man. It's a great feeling.
Welcome Back man and i can cosign on your experience. I still like the game and will continue playing it....but its not like the first months were i made sure not to miss turtle times or didnt want to waste stamina.
As a OP fans i want to collect and have as many units as possible but the was Bamco handles the Global version prevents me from getting my fix. Having to sell named characters and the constant managing of box space for month has tempered my enjoyment. Enen for the upcoming Sugofest im thinking...if i pull more than 2 good units i wanna keep i will have to sell off other stuff again.
Hah...nice, congrats !!
The combination of the content drip slowing down and my Going Merry still being stuck at level 9 has tempered my enthusiasm for staying on the bleeding edge of the game. I'm still logging in and playing, but don't squeeze every last ounce of efficiency from stamina anymore. Missed a few turtle times, but I'll get that XP... eventually.
I think I'll skip this Sugofest. Rayleigh, Whitebeard, Vista and Blamenco are the only rare recruit units I don't have. With the Alabasta recruits and the three warlords besides Boa there are to few new good chars. Maybe I'll wait till the Strong World units hit the global version... But I know that I want to pull a few times and after a few times I pull some more... So hopefully I won't even start to pull.
I'm gonna do two or three pulls against this Sugo, but nothing crazy. Not like I have the box space for a bunch of new characters, anyway.
Meanwhile, in Japan, version 4.1 was released, and has the most buttery-smooth performance on Android yet... with the sound turned off, of course.
It was a real trick getting the 4.1 apk, though... turns out the apk downloading sites pull from their own apk cache, rather than directly from the current version on Google Play. I was impatient, so I made up a Japanese Android Virtual Machine, then used a VPN to pretend I was in Japan.
Stupid region lockouts. There should just be one version of this game, not two.

Izo
Urugue
Usopp v2
Capone
Will Do 13 pulls jozu a god boa and kid and im happy.
I'd do at last ten pulls, but...member box space. :/
I'll be able to free up around 20-30 slots, thanks to the skill-up event, but I don't want to pull a lot of new units limiting my freedom further, since I know Namco Bandai won't give us an increase in the next few updates. I've pretty much given up all hope on it.

Have you given up all the books to units you don't have?
No, I can't find myself to do it. I'm not about to get rid of my Robin books, not her. I will make the sacrifice. Everything else I'm holding onto for the skill-up event.

Of course the int up ends when the sugofest starts (rayleigh!)
Definately hoping for some new units!
